Fins Cut Culpepper...Who picks him up?

Where would he go in the East?

Everyone's QB situations in the division are pretty settled right now.

Pretty much everyone in the division could use a backup.

I think he'll be looking for a team where he has a chance to start next year, that's why I think somewhere like Jacksonville makes the most sense. Unless Leftwich blows up Culpepper would have an excellent chance of taking over that team next year.

But they were letting the guy practice and work out until Green got in town. Then Green shows up and he can't do anything?? Sorry but that is wrong. If he is under contract, which DC was, then you can't lock the guy out of the facility.
They let him work out because they did not know if they could sign Green and there was still a chance he could have been their QB. When they signed Green it was known that he would now be traded or cut. If he was injured while working out or doing something on at their facility they would have to pay him his money. Why would they want to risk that?

I´ve been thinking of this scenario since the Fins traded for T.Green, which teams would be more likely to pick him up and which could be a good fit... Remember Culpepper is his own Agent so he'll only go to a team he thinks he can eventually start.

First Choice
Jacksonville
It's were all the rumors have come up, Leftwich and Garret are in their last year of their contracts and none have shown they deserve a new contract less along a big raise.

If Culpepper is healthy and he thinks he can win it before the season starts this will be his more likely spot it's a good team with playoffs possibilities only shortfall is bad receivers.

Second
Kansas City
Right now they got an old backup veteran that they have taken away the starting job after a raise for a second year 3rd round QB with 0 experience if healthy this is the most logical because it would be the easiest way to win a job. even if ti means getting the ball mostly to your RB and TE.

Third
Atlanta
With the recent Indictment of Vick the front office and new coach Petrino don't feel to comfortable with the future and image of their franchise QB and might make a bigger offer to Culpepper to go with them for security reasons. This would be a great spot because of money and recovery if needed if he doesn't think he can start right away there isn't an immediate pressure but a likelihood of staring in the possible future.

Fourth
Buffalo
J.P Losman has shown specially last year a little promise but still is to raw for a 3 year veteran the front office is a little worried because is starting to stick to a Carr/ Harrignton type of player. Again Culpepper wouldn't be pressured to start but could eventually take the Job if Losman Struggles

Let me know your toughts.

Once Trent suffers another concussion before the season starts, DC will resign with them.

They let him work out because they did not know if they could sign Green and there was still a chance he could have been their QB. When they signed Green it was known that he would now be traded or cut. If he was injured while working out or doing something on at their facility they would have to pay him his money. Why would they want to risk that?

Then if they were so worried about him getting hurt cut him as soon as you sign Green. I believe you can't lock a guy out if he is under contract.

Why didn't KC lock out Green? His contract was 7.2 million. But they still let him come to OTA's and minicamp. Why? Becasue he was under contract.

KC handled it the right way. Miami and Tenn ( w/ McNair) did not.

Definitely would rather have Brunell. Putting aside the fact that we don't know how Daunte's knees are, consider that we're-I assume-talking about signing Culpepper as a backup to Campbell (not to replace him). I want my backup, especially to a young QB like JC, to be able to serve as a mentor and know the offense.

Culpepper doesn't know this offense and I don't think he has any intention of being anyone's mentor. For the role the backup has to serve on our team, give me Brunell any day.

Brunell is the best back-up in the league. Until he has to play.

Good post, but I think all this talk about Vick puts Atlanta as the front runner now. If I was in atlanta's shoes, I would be thinking about life after Vick at this point, especially since Vick never showed any ability to be a top notch qb.

I think he'll be looking for a team where he has a chance to start next year, that's why I think somewhere like Jacksonville makes the most sense. Unless Leftwich blows up Culpepper would have an excellent chance of taking over that team next year.

Culpepper would be 3rd though. Jacksonville does like Garard.
